It starts with styro, cardboard, plaster and wall scraper. I start with gluing the cardboard to the styro. I do that because I can't buy XPS foam where I'm from. We're in the tropics, Philippines. You can't find insulation foam here or at least, I can't.
I add a little PVA glue to the water I use on the plaster. I don't really know if that works, but I do it nonetheless haha! I like to think that the glue makes the plaster adhere more to the board and styro. I also tint the water with a little india ink to make it look like cement. Plus, I hate the look of plaster chipping and revealing stark white. Then, I use wall scraper to apply the plaster for that even application and when it dries. I sand the plaster to remove the bumps and that's it, it's all base paint and washes after that.
